Is snapchat still a thing? Never used that but I thought from screenshots and memes that tiktok killed it (never used that either)

I think it's still used a lot for private messaging?

[–] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 20 points 2 months ago

"private"

[–] Player2@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think you mean 'direct' messaging

Maybe. I've only known Snapchat used for sending pictures of one's privates, which is quite direct now that I think about it.

Have they fixed the issue where anyone with the URL to your pic can see it?

As far as I've read, it's never been private, let alone encrypted.
